Brief summary
Percutaneous closure is one of the methods used to treat, among other congenital heart disorder, Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) in children and adults. During the years 1998-2013 four hundred and fifty patients were catheterized in the department of pediatric cardiology and congenital heart diseases in Rambam health care campus, using various devices. In this retrospective research, the investigators analyze data from patients' medical files, to estimate and define the correlation between the patients' demographic and morphologic data to the type and size of chosen closure device. Aim of study: To create an algorithm that can be used to choose the proper device for percutaneous closure of the PDA, based on the characteristics of the patient and the PDA type.
Detailed description
The investigators analyze the demographic characteristics of patients before the procedure (Age, gender, weight, height, co-morbidities etc.), the type and characteristics of PDA and the chosen device, success and failure rates of the procedure, and adverse effects. The data is taken from patients' medical files - based on medical reports regarding physical examination, blood tests and imaging studies including cineangiograms and echo-doppler studies.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Success of implantation | one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam | due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| residual shunt | one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam | due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013) and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Early and late Adverse effects | one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam | hemolysis, bleeding, infections ect. due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well. |
